Title: Enhanced plant protection in controlling plant disease by applying ethaboxam to transgenic plants
Inventor: MEADOR CHRISTOPHER B
IPC: A01N43/78
Filed: 2009-09-11
Abstract: A method for controlling plant disease that comprises applying N-(cyano-2-thienylmethyl)-4-ethyl-2-(ethylamino)-5-thiazolecarboxamide (ethaboxam) to a transgenic plant is disclosed. The combination of ethaboxam and transgenic plants provides enhanced plant protection in controlling plant disease. Application of an effective amount of ethaboxam to transgenic plants applied to plant foliage parts; soil-applied in drench or soil incorporation; or applied to seed using seed slurry application, seed film coating and seed pelleting technologies for seed, gives a good controlling effect on plant diseases. Application of ethaboxam to transgenic plants encompasses all monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crop types, and is particularly useful for controlling disease in corn and cotton plants, representing monocotoyledon and dicotyledon plant types.

Patent NZ-601292-A (NZ)
Title: Dehumidifier
Inventor: KABETA NORIYOSHI
IPC: F24F1/0358
Filed: 2011-02-22
Abstract: 601292 A dehumidifier which comprises dehumidifying means which removes moisture contained in the air, and air blowing means which draws in room air and blows out dry air B, which is obtained by causing the room air to pass through the dehumidifying means, into a room, comprises wind direction changing means 1b, surface temperature detection means 6, and control means. The wind direction changing means 1b changes the blowing direction of the dry air B vertically and laterally. The surface temperature detection means 6 which is attached to the wind direction changing means 1b detects surface temperatures of an object present in the blowing direction of the wind direction changing means 1b in a non-contact state. The control means, upon detection of the start of a removal operation of dew condensation in the room, controls the blowing direction of the wind direction changing means 1b so that the surface temperature detection means 6 moves on a predetermined route in a surface temperature detection range obtained by changing the blowing direction of the wind direction changing means 1b vertically and laterally, and also reads the surface temperatures on the predetermined route detected by the surface temperature detection means 6, and selects the lowest surface temperature from the read surface temperatures and controls the wind direction changing means 1b so that the dry air B is blown in the direction of the lowest surface temperature. Upon selecting the lowest surface temperature from the read surface temperatures, the control means makes a judgment as to whether the surface temperature is lower than a predetermined value, and controls the wind direction changing means 1b so that the dry air B is blown in the direction of the surface temperature when the lowest surface temperature is lower than the predetermined value.

Title: Protective helmet, in particular for forestry workers
Inventor: PFANNER ANTON
IPC: A42B3/18
Filed: 2011-07-12
Abstract: A protective helmet (30) is described, with a helmet shell (36) and with an interior fitting subassembly which comprises at least one supporting cage (42), a head band (44) and a neck band. Three supporting arms (54, 55, Fig:7 56) serve to fasten the subassembly to the helmet shell with a spacing. A clearance (60) is thus provided between the interior fitting subassembly (and the helmet shell for receiving ear protection capsules (35a, 35b) and supporting straps (37a, 37b) of ear defenders (34). When not in use, the ear defenders can be pivoted under the helmet shell. The protective helmet therefore does not provide any engagement possibilities whatsoever for obstacles, such as branches and the like. The supporting arms conduct a force acting on the helmet to elastically deform the helmet shell to improve the shock absorption capability.

Title: Covering consisting of a plurality of gratings inserted one into another
Inventor: MEINCKE ARNE
IPC: E01C9/10
Filed: 2011-08-16
Abstract: Covers for drains, manholes or similar constructions consisting of multiple grates (10, 20), each produced from a single sheet of sheet metal, combined together to form a single cover or grating. The use of multiple grates allows for large gaps (21) between each strut of each grate, each gap representing half of the sheet material bent to 90 degrees below the strut to form the strut side (12), without affecting the overall spacing in the finished grating system. This allows improved strength of a grating without the cost of a thicker sheet material. Each grate is combined with the other grates, in a permanent fashion, with the struts of each grate aligning with gaps in the other grates.

Title: Simplified golf club swing training apparatus
Inventor: HOU WEN-SUN
IPC: A63B69/36
Filed: 2014-02-28
Abstract: Golfers are always looking for ways to improve their scores. As a result, many different kinds of training devices have been disclosed for improving various aspects of a golfer’s skills. Some such training devices are specifically configured to improve a golfer’s swing so that he or she hits a golf ball longer or straighter or more accurately. Normally, such training devices are designed to be used at a hitting range where repeated use of the device will produce muscle memory or other physical effect to alter the golfer’s swing for better using conventional golf clubs during an actual round of golf. A golf club swing training apparatus and method for fabricating it are provided. The apparatus teaches golfers to swing the club to selectively shape a ball’s trajectory so that it moves right-to-left or left-to-right in a controlled manner. The apparatus includes a club shaft and slide mechanism. The shaft includes an upper portion and lower portion that are spaced apart to form a gap there-between. The mechanism is inserted within this gap and is connected to the lower end of the upper shaft portion and the upper end of the lower shaft portion. The mechanism is configured to permit a lateral shift of this lower portion relative to this upper portion during swinging of the club. The method uses an alignment apparatus to maintain the elongated axis of the upper shaft portion in substantial alignment with the elongated axis of the lower shaft portion when the mechanism is being connected.
Patent NZ-715500-A (NZ)
Title: Fish striking device
Inventor: COOPER PAUL ALAN
IPC: A01K99/00
Filed: 2014-06-30
Abstract: The objective of successful fishing is to attract a fish to bait or lure placed upon a hook and to set the hook in the mouth of the fish when it strikes the bait. However, the hook may not be set because it may be released from the mouth of the fish if it only tentatively tugs at the hook, or the fisherman’s timing in attempting to set the hook is lacking. Several prior art hook setting devices have attempted to solve this issue. However, such prior art devices are complicated in structure, not user friendly and/or expensive to manufacture. The present invention provides a fish striking device configured for use with a fishing rod having a plurality of eyelets and fishing line, the fish striking device comprising: a first channel containing tension means; a trigger mechanism slidably mounted on the first channel, the trigger mechanism comprising: a latch which hooks over a stop located in the first channel; a lever having one end which pivots and a free end, the lever being connected to the latch in a manner such that pivoting the lever releases the latch from the stop; and a pulley at the free end of the lever, wherein the fishing line loops from a first eyelet of the fishing rod back around the pulley at the free end of the lever and returns through a second eyelet of the rod, wherein one end of the tension means is fixed to the trigger mechanism, wherein when a fish pulls on the fishing line, the fishing line looped around the pulley pivots the lever and releases the latch from the stop, such that the released tension means slides the trigger mechanism along the first channel and the line is pulled taut as the pulley moves with the trigger mechanism. The fish striking device of the present invention is thus useful for setting a hook in the mouth of a fish.
